Saw a CRJ captain the other day walking through the terminal in PHL with a short sleeve uniform shirt, a three inch tattoo on his forearm in plain sight, and a larger one on his bicep just showing a little.
He didn't seem too concerned about covering it up.

All airlines have rules against it...maybe he's fed up and didn't care if he gets fired. Or maybe his chief pilot doesn't care...but you don't get to pick your CP, and most do care.

Hey guys, well I just wanted to ask you guys who been in it for a long time in the career, I'm finishing right now CFI and hopefully soon would like to work my self up to a regional and then major of course, but my question is this, I've been in the military now for a long time and for like 8 years now I wanted to get a tattoo, (military tat) but one of the reasons I haven't is cause of my future. Do the airlines really care about this? cuz honestly if they don't I'm getting it done like next week, other wise I will hold on. I know that the military does care about this, so that's why I'm asking.
Thanks

As another poster mentioned, long sleeve shirts covering arm tats were necessary to keep the company happy. If you've just gotta have a tattoo, somewhere out of view when in uniform would be the best bet. The bottom line is, you need to make yourself more attractive to the airline than the other folks in the hiring queue.

I got my face tattoed like Mike Tyson did......then I was given the option to remove the tattoo or resign from the airline.
Worst decision of my life, I now work in a warehouse operating a fork lift.
I have had depressing thoughts wondering if my tattoo will look cool when I am an old grand pa.
